PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)

PMI’s Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) credential
is a response to project management’s increasing growth, complexity and
diversity. Globally recognized and demanded, the PMI-RMP® fills the need for a specialist role in project risk management.

It recognizes your unique expertise and competency in assessing
and identifying project risks, mitigating threats and capitalizing on
opportunities, while still possessing a baseline knowledge and practical
application in all areas of project management.

The PMI-RMP demonstrates skill and competence in the specialized area of
project risk management. If you’re looking to fill the risk management
specialist role on your project team, hone your basic project management
skills and showcase your specialized expertise to employers, the
PMI-RMP credential is for you.

To apply for the PMI-RMP, you need to have either:

A four-year degree (bachelor’s or the global equivalent), with
at least 3,000 hours of project risk management experience and 30 hours
of project risk management education.

OR

A secondary diploma (high school or the global equivalent)
with at least 4,500 hours of project risk management experience and 40
hours of project risk management education.

As part of PMI’s Continuing Certification Requirements program, a
PMI-RMP credential holder will need to earn 30 PDUs in the specialized
area of project risk management per three-year cycle. To learn more
